  • Fedup, well done for starting up the 31 day sign up.
    As I started the initial 100 day challenge late, I'm still on a promise until May.

    Please sign me up on a rolling basis for March, April and May to:
    not to buy any skincare or cosmetics (unless it's to replace something essential) and handbags (no get out clauses on replacements here).

    Good luck everyone.

Ive have got things in my house that I buy duplicate items of not realsing that I have them already. 1 of my ccs is maxd out so I cannot use that(dont know whether that counts). Magazines, coffee, cigarettes and I also have a stationary habit too. Thought it was only me. Good to know Im not alone.

    Good luck on this challenge everybody.

    Welcome jojododd - you're not alone, I felt the same when I stumbled on the original thread 18mths ago and I was surprised how many other people were in similar situations as myself

    Believe me, if I can do it, anyone else can too. I bought beauty from QVC practically every day. Have addressed this and am now at the point of divorcing myself from the channel!

    Good luck and please pop back on to let us all know how you are doing - if you are struggling we can support and if you do well it will inspire others

    We are doing it!
